Animating the Question Slides

One way we can soften the transitions between slides is by adding subtle animations to key elements in our quiz. Not only will this lend visual pacing to our quiz, it will help emphasize the on-screen changes between question and feedback slides.

STEP 2: Animating the choice text and boxes

Go to Animations > Entrance Animations > Fade In and set Speed set to slow.

Click Preview to view the animations

Note: We're only animating the choices on the question slide. Because the text doesn't change in the feedback slide, there's no reason to re-animate the choices.

STEP 3: Removing the slide transitions

By default, Quizmaker sets a fade in transition between slides. I really like the effect and use it for a lot of projects. But in this quiz, we have specific elements we're animating so we don't need the extra fading.

To remove the slide transitions:

Go to Animations > Transitions to This Slide and click the first icon, No Transition

Click Save & Close to return to the Question List

Click Preview if you want to see how things look

Note: Slide transitions are enabled by default. We just removed it from the question slide and will also need to remove it from the feedback slide.

What's next?

In the next lesson, we'll apply similar animation effects to our feedback slide.
